WC 2010: Dblock celebrates Spanish victory

Red.

Made this for the World Cup and would like some critique please

That's really good. I like how you made the countries appear in the order they finished.

Only suggestion I'd make is to maybe have the top of the world cup as Africa instead of the Atlantic.

Thank you, my first copy was my prediction and it was so wrong

Never even thought about that, I'll see how it looks with Africa.

Try changing some of the fonts. Perhaps in styles that represent each Country? The idea is good, just the fonts don't do it justice IMO. Also perhaps a subtle background as it looks like too much wasted space. Although Maybe there is some stuff there that i can't see on my iPod

That's strawberry floating awesome. The fonts idea is a good one though.

Also, surely North Korea came last (I'm pretty sure they did as well).

Also (part 2), as a Scot what possessed you to display England in such a relatively large font size?

Edit - hold on, you didn't make that. Get tae strawberry float.

The bottom part isn't really in order, just the teams that failed at group stages then it's roughly the order of elimination all the way up. England are large because they were one of the favourites and that's what I did originally.

This was the original with my prediction:


What makes you think I didn't make it?

Because it's really good.

Also the dark blue and black fonts for the teams in the group stages are quite hard to see on the background.

Assuming this means what I think it means (it's hard to tell), what the strawberry float are you on about? There are about 60 people that post here more than I do. But hey, at least you didn't feel the need to resort to personal insults this time, amirite?

Pathetic. It had nothing to do with your grammar or the fact that you're black/not English. It had everything to do with you jumping down someone's throat when they misunderstood your poorly written gibberish. My original post wasn't even that bad (nice to know that you hate me for it though, you poor soul), it was obviously not very serious. You're just an argumentative prick. Ignored.

Do you always use phrases such as window licker, Igor?

I also understood Dblock first time round.

Been away the past couple of days, my views;

1. Spain aren't THAT good (especially compared with the team 2 years ago), but they are ruthlessly efficient.
2. Some of the Dutch tackles were just
3. Some of the Spanish diving was just
4. Webb had a decent enough game, difficult game to referee, de Jong and van Bommel should have gone though.
5. Forlan winning the Golden Ball

I think Webb was mindful that it was obviously the final and didn't want to ruin the game by sending the two Dutchmen off. But they should have gone.

I still think he did a decent job, though he did make mistakes.

It's a bit something to make the world cup win about Barca and to display the shirt in Madrid....

Its more of ''us the catalans won the world cup'' attitude that most Barcelona players have and Madrid players are not so fond of that apparently.

About Cesc it was just them having fun stop taking it so serious, and yes he will come to Barcelona this summer.

When did I say anything about race?

Seriously the guy is bit of loony.

Just havin' a larf, yeah? The Barca players aren't as bad as their media, but the complete lack of respect for Arsenal is definitely out of order. Not a day goes by without a story popping up like:

"Xavi / Messi / Iniesta / Pique urges Cesc to join Barca".

The players are just being asked questions, but Barca (and Real) use their media outlets to influence transfers. Arsenal are furious about this, and the new Barca President knows he has a lot to do to undo the actions of his predecessor.

Barca might have a better chance of landing him if they just shut up and approached Arsenal for some private negotiations. £29m was a joke, taking into account Cesc's age, form and contract at Arsenal. Barca are just acting like jerkatrons because they're in debt and they're doing anything they can to drive the price down.

Fabregas himself has been great throughout, so I would have no bad feeling towards him if he did go.

This might sound a bit odd coming from a United fan, but I actually kind of hope Fabregas doesn't leave Arsenal. The more world-class players that stay in the Premier League, the better.

It'd be a real shame to have yet another geniunely brilliant player move to the Spanish duopoly

English media, Spanish,Italian they all the same. I do agree with you that Barcelona/Real are heavily influenced by their media. Last Season both clubs were having digs at each other thanks to the Real media saying ''Barcelona players never get a red card, the refs are on their side'' funny enough the next game Barcelona player got a red for absolutely nothing. Barcelona is never going to need to worry about being in debt they'll always get rescued and bailed out. I'm still positive that Cesc will play for Barcelona this season, in the next few weeks you'll hear that Cesc is unhappy etc etc and wants to join Barcelona. I personally believe that they should let him go and let him play where he is happy. He wants to join Barcelona at this stage because they are incredibly good and probably wants to win Champions league.

I'm the same, regardless of club it's brilliant to be able to watch World Class players. Although I can understand Cesc going seeing as he's Spanish so it's not as annoying as it usually is, and I like Barca more than Madrid.

I'm sure Cesc will leave one day.....

But unless Barca up the bid, Arsenal won't let him leave without a huge pay out.
